Only one game could fight off the zombies

Dying Lightdoesn’t seem to have any intention of dying anytime soon. Three months after its initial release, it’s maintained popularity throughsupport of modders,new game modes, andwacky gags. Despite being widely available, it just claimed another victim: Japan.

The most recent Media Create figures (as published by4Gamer) pegDying Lightas having moved 25,530 PS4 copies in its first week on the market. That’s good enough for second place on the weekly charts. The only game to beat it wasGirls Mode 3: Kirakira * Codeon 3DS, which was also just released.
